what people are saying
"As someone who is living in Germany, Marina was able to give me relevant advice for where I am, the people I deal with, and where I want to go. Friendly, insightful and full of great advice. Strong recommend."

FAQs
If you have a specific, high-stakes situation — an upcoming interview, a career pivot you need to execute soon, or a role decision you're wrestling with — the 1:1 Strategic Advisory is designed for that. If you want ongoing guidance, live access to me, and a structured path, Guided is your best bet. If you're earlier in your journey and want to learn at your own pace with solid resources and community support, start with Core. You can always upgrade.
It's designed to be. The Guided membership gives you live access to me every month plus everything in Core — for ~10% the cost of a single 1:1 session. Core also gives you the chance to ask questions async every single week, and I’m constantly adding new resources to help you.
Go for it. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Many people use the community for ongoing support and book a 1:1 session when they hit a specific inflection point — like preparing for a final-round interview or deciding between competing offers.
Community memberships can be cancelled at any time. For 1:1 sessions, you can reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Details are on the booking page.
